Doris had been in a constant tired and annoyed mood these days. Jay kept pestering her every now and then as if he was practically enjoying tormenting her deliberately.
He would order her sometime saying, "Doris, isn't it my medicine time?"
Or sometime he'd say on purpose, "Doris, help me with my exercise."
And then he'd annoy her even more by ordering her, "Doris, prepare my bath!"
He was doing nothing but frustrating her with his pestering attitude over and over again and now she'd come down to secretly dreaming of hurting him inventing some pure evil ideas. A few of the ideas that had popped up in her head were really innovative and she was enjoying selecting which one would be the best she could use on him. A thousand different scenarios were crowding inside her head making her hands itch to get to work at the earliest possible opportunity.
Whenever she'd look at Jay as he continued to annoy her with orders, she'd daydream deciding on which the best way to teach him a lesson was. Jay would give her one of his penetrating gazes when he would notice she had gone silent or acting differently. As if he was trying to decipher the look in her eyes. Although she knew she couldn't leave his side until he had fully recovered, that didn't stop her from cursing him inwardly.
Her mind frequently reminded her how tiresome it was to stay with this evil man. She'd rather die than to stay here with him for another minute.
All she wanted was to get away from him and have her freedom again. It was like she was forcefully stuck with him.
Of course she had asked Jay if she could leave. If she could, she'd be the person with peace of mind as they didn't have to see each other ever again.
But that evil man! He shamelessly denied her. Clearly, he had no intention of letting her go away from him until he fully recovered. His attitude was aggravating and Doris was beyond exasperated with him now.
As a doctor she had had cases like this in the past. Her patients usually recovered within a week. But she couldn't understand what was taking his injury so long to fully recover.
Jay let out a sigh looking down at his injured male body part. "I don't know how different it is from others," he said to Doris, winking evilly. "The only way for you to know is if you see it for yourself. Would you like to give it a try, Doris?" He gave out a loud and wild laugh, watching Doris's face that had reddened at his words.
"Haha!" Doris felt her face turning hot. She was sure she was blushing some ugly shade of red. She avoided eye contact with Jay as she retorted quietly, "Go, give it a try yourself." She was in fact, nervous. There was no one else in the house right now. If Jay decided to attack her, he could easily overpower her. There would be nothing she could do to resist him then.
After her response an uncomfortable silence hung between them. Jay's unwavering eyes never left her. She could almost feel his eyes were cruising her body deliberately with undivided attention.
She tried hard to keep herself from trembling under his intense gaze. She still avoided eye contact as she told him, "Mr. Fang, I'm going to the hospital to care of my other work. So, you take some rest now." She tried to sound professional and in control but inside, her heart was palpitating nervously.
She was afraid of being close to him. It was threatening and she felt she needed to get away from him as quickly as possible.
Jay stared at her for a long moment studying her reactions. Doris was feeling uncomfortable and suddenly hot under his penetrating gaze. Then he said, "Alright. Go. But remember to return to my side as soon as you finish your work." The truth was, Jay wanted Doris by his side just to recover fully under her professional care.
There was this nagging fear that what if he was disabled at his main part. If that was the case, his life would be meaningless and he definitely couldn't risk that.
"Understood." Doris nodded then stood up. She gathered all her things then promptly left the room.
Doris pondered on Jay's words as she walked out of Jay's room. There was something wrong with Jay today. His stare was not the usual one. It was intense and it had made her so uncomfortably hot. Did he really mean to have a try with her?
What a bastard!
The whole time after that Doris couldn't focus on her work. She considered giving Jay the male enhancement product which she usually recommended to her patients. It might help him to recover.
But then after checking his allergies and other bodily symptoms, Doris found out they couldn’t be given to Jay. He would suffer from too many side-effects otherwise.
Doris was about to give up when one of her elderly lady colleagues came in.
She asked for her wellbeing at first then remarked, "Doris, did you hear that our hospital has just brought in several inflatable dolls. All the men think they are very beautiful. Can you believe it? People are always inventing means to please men. But you won't see something like that for women." She snorted. "Do you think it is because of gender discrimination?" she asked Doris.
"Not really," replied Doris. "We women are generally more reserved and men only think with what's below their waist." She let out an airy laugh. Doris didn't know anything about the inflatable dolls. So, she couldn't really evaluate them. Besides, she was unmarried.
The hospital was making these dolls for single men to solve their sexual problems.
There was a huge market for them.
"Well, when you say it like that, then in my opinion women are better than men," the old lady replied with a sly smile.
"Absolutely." Doris chuckled, returning the smile.
This was how Doris tackled serious situations. No matter how much she was struggling, she would find ways to make her mood light.
This characteristic of her was often misjudged by others. People often categorized her as a carefree individual.
